Established in 1888, the Hofmeister series classification describes the specific effects of ions within aqueous solutions and plays a central role in chemistry and biology. Different ions can either ...

English speakers may feel their throat close when pronouncing words like “kitten,” “mitten,” and “bitten” — a momentary silence called a glottal stop. But how would one pronounce a glottal stop at the ...

Ants, like humans, have garbage. They dispose of their trash outside their nest in a dump called a midden, and the things they discard — seeds, rocks, dead nestmates — hold clues about their diet and ...

Considering cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, it’s no wonder there’s so much research on cardiac cells. But studying these cells in isolation isn’t sufficient, because ...

To control gas mixtures with magnets, researchers must exploit the magnetic properties of gas species. However, the effects of magnetic fields on gas transport are not well explored. In particular, ...

Quantum dots (QDs) generate single photons or entangled photons pairs that can be used for encryption and precise measurements, placing them at the core of technologies like quantum communication, ...
